Default should i?

Should I gut the back of my interior, remove the seats and stuff, and keep my cd player hooked up with 2 basic speakers, or should i just leave my interior alone with the amp and heavy sub box and crap?

i just dont want to devalue the car, or bother if it's not worth it. opinions?

If you're really THAT worried about dropping some weight of the car, go ahead. It looks like shit, but can save you about 100 lbs (well, more if since you have an amp, subs and a box).

if you're trying to save weight for racing, go for it if you aren't using the system. hell, if you aren't using the system (or don't care about it), ditch it anyways.

it's a little pointless imo if you aren't doing any hardcore racing where those pounds would really matter, but whatever floats your boat. you'll get marginally better mileage and reclaim some space in your car.

if you're worried about devalue, just keep what you removed. as long as you don't monkeyfist it out and destroy it, you can always put it back if you need to.

If you really want to race it, you're going to need all the help you can get.

na i just like hooking it up doing what I can to it, it's not like i'm going to the track or anything, it's just something really unique, for all it's got going against it you'd be suprised what I can pull from it, it's not that great, but it's mine, and i'm going to do everything I can do it motor wise to make it fast. If I can somehow squeeze like 160 or 170 hp out of it i'll be more than happy.

If you're not taking it to the track and you're not concerned about it being fast, then why bother removing anything? As it is, even with 170hp, you're going to get beaten by swapped Civics all day long. Just do which ever you prefer and don't worry about it.
